Hi!

Well there are alot of posts on the forum about what we would like Corgi / Dragon to do over the next year or so but I was wondering what Gemini's we would like to see?????

I personally would love to see a Dan Air 727 / 737 / BAC1-11.

Or any BAC 1-11 for that matter!!!!

Just wondering what others thought! I will pass on any suggestions to Gemini Jets Europe for them to pass on to those in charge!!! Maybe they may take notice!!!!!

If you was female you would be called a ...teaser...!!

Yep.. in 1/144 or 1/200.. cos us old farts cannot see too well, we would love to see a reasonably priced..1-11, VC10, a Trident.... Vanguard Herald...

If I won the lottery, me I'd have a go at a 1/144 737/727..... there are just so many schemes and from that you could build collections...

Courtline 1-11's........ mmm...

Sorry but have found 1/400 just too small.... nice Northwest Connie though.... :D :D :D

Anyway keyboard covered in slobber now...

What do you think of the new 1/250 Gemini models?

I agree that some of the 1/400's are just too small!!! I reciently started selling the Gemini Jet range on my website and when I ordered them some of the first ones I recieved were the British Airways 737's and I couldn't believe how small they are!!!!

I have a few of them so I had seen them before but they are in the loft and haven't been seen for ages and when the new ones arrived I was shocked!! I had forgotten how small they were!!!

I do think some of the larger ones i.e 777, 747 are nice enough in 1/400 but maybe in 1/250 they would be much better!!

Looking forward to the Ryanair 737-800 in 1/250!

Having bought a couple of GJ 400th recently, have come to similar conclusion to AgentX2O. 747/777/L1011 fine as about 7". 727/727/A319 just too flipping small! 737 all of 2" long. In 200th/250th can see abit better. herpes even smaller at 500th and now 1000th.

Now, what I would like is the Pink Court Line L1011 to match my yellow one. and then the set of Court Bac111's in 200/250th, or better still 144th as it should have been in the first place!

To Marky Ncl as I have been trounced by Goony..!! :D :D :D

Yep .. no problem with 1/250.. but why did they not go and join the 1/200 crowd.. theres still plenty more to do..

Now despite what all the others say about me and it aint true..!! I am more th>n happy to shell out for a model.. trouble with the 250's are they going to take me all the way there and then drop me like a hot potato.. as Corgi have done on the 1/144..

Now if they want to promise that they will bring out the models mentioned above, I am quite happy to commence on a 1/250 pilgrimage.. and yep, if I have to pay retail.. I'll try...

Think you mean Herpa Goon...!! :D :D :D

Hi Marky ncl

Get them nice people at Gemini to give me a Ryanair 737-800 in 1/400 scale along with an Aer Lingus A320. I have a 1/400 scale airport layout and whats on the tarmac depends on whats flying over me head. Here in North Wales there's lots of traffic into Manchester Belfast and Dublin to be seen so some UK charter types would be nice as well.

OK it's a bit sad at my age but it's more fun than a model railway and I get to make lots of jet noises to prove to my kids that I really am quite mental :D

Well Im glad to say that they are bringing out a Ryanair 737-800 but I'm affraid its going to be a 1:250! Sorry!!

Will mention the Aer Lingus A320 next time I speak to the Gemini Jets Europe people!

Id love to see more 727's. Dan Air and Sabre Airways would be a start!!!

Actually saw these in the flesh at the weekend for the first time and have to say was decidely impressed at the detail on a 1/400th scale plane.

So much so I nearly bought a Jumbo - but I went and laid down in a darkened room for five minutes and the moment passed. :D :D

My cabinet is gradually filling up with 1/400ths, as they really are VERY good.
Furthermore, I have just received inside information 'from my spy in China' that an awful lot of prop and turboprop classic airliners will be appearing!!
